UTEP takes last shot at avoiding winless season

The UTEP football team is now down to the last bullet in the gun.

What three months ago looked like the sure win on the schedule, at a UAB team that didn't exist a year ago, now sees the Miners as a three-touchdown underdog looking to avoid the first 0-12 season ever.

They come in with a little offensive momentum after their best output of the year last week against Louisiana Tech, but they are without the player who engineered it, concussed quarterback Ryan Metz.
